About the Event
A free workshop on how, but more importantly WHY to spend Bitcoin at the over 100 local Vancouver businesses now accepting Bitcoin via the lightning network. This is an introductory course that assumes no prior knowledge.
Key Topics
- Why spending Bitcoin helps your local economy
- Why using open source and open protocols money helps democratise finance
- How to buy Bitcoin and the risks invovled
- Most importantly, how to spend your Bitcoin!
You have probably heard about Bitcoin as a way to make money, or as a tool used by criminals. The intention of this course is to give a different perspective.
Not only am I not promising to help you make money , I’m actually promising you this will cost you money. The point of the course is to SPEND bitcoin. You will incur transaction fees, costs of acquiring bitcoin, and in the time between loading up your wallet and buying sushi your bitcoin holdings may very likely decrease in value. I know what you are thinking, where do I sign up? The answer is right below.
